It actually was used as the text for a course I just took, and I have used it as a reference in other classes. Good to have on hand. Concise information, easy to read and understand. Review: A+ for this book! - I teach a course on business and finance, and it's for master's level students in public relations. I've used this textbook for several years in both the face-to-face classroom setting and online, and it's been outstanding in both venues! Every semester, students rave about the textbook; the adjective, awesome, has come up a number of times! One student told his friends and coworkers about Finance for Nonfinancial Managers; he described the book's approachability and ease of understanding -- and said "there is literally a waiting list to borrow it from me after the class!" Gene Siciliano breaks down complicated concepts into bite-size chunks. Students who were totally intimidated about business and finance at the beginning of the semester said they felt comfortable and confident by the end. This textbook is a perfect guide for this class, but I really it's relevant to anyone, from the college student to anyone in the workforce who wants to build their financial IQ. I'd give the book a six-star rating (but only five are allowed!)

Very easy to read common sense approach to understanding finance
Very easy to read common sense approach to understanding finance. Gene's approach hits the mark and can provide valuable insight for people that are not normally immersed in the financial world. I would recommend this book to both people that understand finance and those that do not, during my read I found myself several times thinking " WOW that part was a great refresher" and I am someone that has been involved in finance and had P&L responsibility for several companies. This book is a great ongoing resource for everyone!

Good book - gives good reminder on basic finance
Interesting book.. for the price it is a good to have! It gave me some reminders on basic finance / accounting.. I work in a financial related field but not as a financial expert so it was a good way to understand some basic principle. Very nice. For the price, you can't really go wrong.
